Ibrahim alayhi salam as he was leaving his family and by the way, no man can ever come today and say, I've just lifted my wife and children to fend for themselves because I'm just following the example of Ibrahim alayhi salam I've actually had one case I was an arbitrator in a problem and the man was so such a religious guy with such a nice mashallah, you know, long bed and so on. I don't think he would miss the head. But he actually told me that Loki primalist Salam did it you know?

00:00:31--> 00:00:55

I said, Brother, are you a prophet of Allah? Did Allah instruct you to do something that like there was another case where a guy comes up and says, you know, you brought in Malay salaam my father told me to divorce my wife. I don't have a problem with that. But I divorced her. So but why? Because my father told me so your father, you remain on your own. I would inform my dad rather than ask him at this juncture. I mean, I'm close on to 60 Come on guys. In a few years,

00:00:58--> 00:00:59

a few decades.

00:01:00--> 00:01:16

But my brothers my sisters, I tell you, it's a fact of life. You are not a prophet, Ibrahim alayhi salam according to one narration went to his his son or he told the wife You know what, tell you the owner of the home that when he comes in, it's change the the doormat.

00:01:18--> 00:01:23

So when Ismail alayhi salam heard about it, he said that was my father telling me to divorce you and you can go home.

00:01:25--> 00:01:51

That was a prophet of Allah, if at all that narration is correct. It was a prophet of Allah. Yes, indeed. And if a prophet is told by Allah, they wouldn't say something from their own pockets. But if your father comes to you and tells you to divorce someone, you have no problem with you love them. You tell your dad, goodbye, salaam alaikum. And you walk towards your wife. So what if they call you whatever you ever taken her with the name of Allah, you don't do that.

00:01:53--> 00:02:21

We love our parents, we will respect him. We will be kind to them. But never did Allah say obey them when they are unreasonable. Not at all. One of some of the difficulties we have today are based on the fact that sometimes we just follow what's unreasonable. We know but we say that's my father. I cannot replace him. That's my mother. I cannot replace her but you I can replace you. What a statement what fraud what a blackmail. May Allah Almighty protect us.
